From product to passport

Give customers the details behind your product.

A label can only hold so much. A product passport gives people a place to find the product information you choose to share.

  1. 01

    Identify the product

    Keep its name, description and manufacturer details together.

  2. 02

    Make useful guidance easy to find

    Share recycling and disposal instructions, plus links to disassembly or take-back information.

  3. 03

    Keep the information current

    Update product information in the editor. Saved changes appear in the published passport.

Your product information

Know what to add before you publish.

Start with the essentials

  • Product name and description
  • GTIN — the number on your product barcode
  • Manufacturer name, address and country

Build a more useful passport

  • Carbon footprint and recycled content
  • Recycling and disposal guidance
  • Supporting documents and conformity information

Start adding your product data

From draft to public page

Create, review and publish.

    Enter the details in the editor or bring in a spreadsheet. Keep supporting files with the passport.

    Review missing fields and validation messages before making the passport public.

    Publish and share

    Publish the passport, download its QR code and add the link to your product label, packaging or website.

Imports & connections

Create passports with your existing tools.

Upload a spreadsheet, connect your systems or draft a passport with your assistant. Review it in PassportCraft before publishing.

Availability, limits & data hosting

PassportCraft's CSV import takes up to 10,000 rows a file. The REST API issues test credentials on every plan and live keys from Pro. The assistant connector is listed in the official MCP registry, so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can read and draft passports; it cannot publish. Passport data is stored in the EU, in Ireland.

Preparing for ESPR

Requirements depend on your product.

Digital product passport obligations are introduced by product group. The applicable rules determine which products are covered, what data they need and when the requirements apply.

Organize your product information now, and check it against the rules for your category as they take effect.

Read the European Commission guidance

Start with your first product.

Publish up to 3 general product passports on the Free plan. Paid plans give you room for a larger catalogue.

Questions, answered

Before you create your passport.

Talk to us
Which products need a digital product passport?

Under the ESPR, each product group gets its own delegated act that sets the scope, the data and the application date. The first working plan (2025–2030) names iron and steel, aluminium, tyres, furniture, mattresses, and energy-related products such as dishwashers, EV chargers and electric motors; textiles and batteries have their own pages here. Use the general product category for these groups, and check the rules for your product as they take effect. Toys get their own passport under the Toy Safety Regulation from 1 August 2030.

What information do I need to publish?

You need the product name and description, a valid GTIN, the manufacturer’s name, address and country, and a substances-of-concern declaration. Resolve any validation errors before publishing. Environmental figures, recycling instructions and supporting documents add detail when you have them.

What is a substances-of-concern declaration?

The ESPR defines a substance of concern as one that is a substance of very high concern (SVHC) under REACH, is classified in one of the listed hazard classes under the CLP Regulation, is a persistent organic pollutant, or hinders the reuse and recycling of the product’s materials (Article 2(27)). In PassportCraft the declaration lists any such substance present above its threshold concentration, or states that none are. Your suppliers’ safety data sheets are the usual source.

Can I start without a GTIN?

Yes. You can create and save a draft without a GTIN. PassportCraft requires a valid GTIN before you publish a general product passport, so add the number from your product barcode when you are ready.

Is a digital product passport mandatory for my product?

It depends on the product and the applicable legislation. Under ESPR, product-specific rules set the scope, information requirements and application dates. The working plan is a schedule for developing those rules, not a single deadline for every product.

Can I update the passport after publishing?

Yes. Update product information in the editor and saved changes appear in the published passport. Keep the GTIN and serial number unchanged so existing printed QR codes continue to work.

Can I use a spreadsheet or an AI tool?

Yes. You can import a CSV file or connect a supported AI tool to create and update drafts. AI tools cannot publish passports; you review and publish in PassportCraft. The REST API has test credentials on every plan and live keys from Pro.
